The Eastern Sichuan Army had just deployed its mortars, but before it was ready to load, numerous artillery shells suddenly flew from the sky and landed on the Eastern Sichuan Army's mortar position.
"Dong dong dong..."
"Ah~"
"Bang bang bang!"
Su Cheng and Zhao Li were stunned when they heard the explosion from behind.
"what happened?"
"Master's seat, Chief of Staff, no luck, our mortar position was bombed."
"What?" Zhao Li jumped off his horse instantly.
"Tell me again, what was bombed?"
"Mortar... the mortar position was bombed. The enemy's artillery shells were too many, and the cannons were all gone..."
"Ahhhhhhhh!!!" Zhao Li became furious in an instant.
"The mortar was bombed and we have lost the initiative. What should we do?"
Zhao Li turned to ask Su Cheng.
"How is this possible? Our mortars were specially placed at the rear of the troops. How could they hit our mortar positions so accurately?"
Su Cheng really couldn't figure out how the 14th Regiment did it.
"Chief of Staff, now is not the time to talk about this. Our mortars have been destroyed. What should we do now?" Zhao Li's face also looked a little ugly.
"Wait a moment, let the people of the second division continue to attack, we will wait where we are."
"Are you still waiting? Chief of Staff, there are at least a few thousand people in the Second Division now. If we press the main force up, we will surely win the position."
Zhao Li said anxiously.
"I said wait, didn't you hear me?"
"There are still thousands of people in the Second Division. I guess the one blocking us must be their main force. When they are exhausted again, when they are exhausted, it is time for us to attack!"
Su Cheng said to Zhao Li confidently.
Zhao Li didn't speak because he knew it would be difficult for him to speak.
Funing County
Commander's Mansion.
At this time, Sun Yu was dreaming of unifying Shu Province in the Marshal's Mansion.
Just then a soldier suddenly ran in.
"Commander, someone from Jining County is here, saying they have important information to report."
"Where?"
"Jining County."
"Jining County?" Sun Yu frowned and said, "Let him in."
"Commander, it's not good. Jining County was attacked and the telegram was bombed. The regiment leader sent me to report to you."
"What? How is the situation now?" Sun Yu asked in shock.
"Commander, when I came we were beaten so hard that we couldn't even lift our heads. The enemy's firepower was too fierce." the soldier said.
"How... how is it possible?" Sun Yu suddenly felt that the sky was dark and the earth was dark, and he had no idea for a moment.
"Quickly, send a telegram to Zhao Li and tell him to go rescue Jining County." Sun Yu turned and pointed at the adjutant and shouted.
"Yes, Commander." The adjutant ran out immediately after getting the news.
"How could this happen..." Sun Yu had no strength at this time and was sweating profusely.
As soon as the adjutant ran out of the commander's mansion, he saw one or two hundred soldiers standing at the door. The leader was Hu Zhenfeng.
"Adjutant Li, why are you going?" Hu Zhenfeng looked at Adjutant Li with a half-smile and asked.
"Hu... Commander Hu? What are you doing? The commander asked me to send a telegram to Commander Zhao." Adjutant Li said arrogantly as he was confused about the situation.
"Oh, that's it. Then go ahead." Hu Zhenfeng waved his hand and asked Adjutant Li to leave.
"Commander Hu, what do you mean by leading the troops to the gate of the commander's mansion?"
"Bang~" Hu Zhenfeng did not answer Adjutant Li's words but directly pulled out his gun and shot Adjutant Li in the head.
"Why are you talking so much? I've brought my troops here and you still don't know what you mean? You idiot!"
"Surround the Commander's Mansion, don't let out a single fly." Hu Zhenfeng waved his hand, and the soldiers behind him instantly surrounded the Commander's Mansion.
Hu Zhenfeng strode into the commander's mansion with his adjutant.
At this time, Sun Yu was pacing in the commander's mansion, feeling restless.
"What can we do... I really regret not listening to Cai Ren. How can they have the strength to fight separately?"
Sun Yu talked while walking.
"Commander, let me answer your question."
Sun Yu heard the sound and looked towards the door.
"Hu Zhenfeng? Why are you here? Why did you come in without notifying me? And you brought a gun?"
"Do you take me as commander seriously?"
"Okay." Hu Zhenfeng waved his hand and said, "Stop being so arrogant as your commander. Isn't it clear what the situation is now?"
"The 14th Regiment has captured Jining County, and your troops are blocked at Sanla River."
"There are no troops stationed in the two cities behind Jining County. The 14th Regiment is trying to flank your troops."
"You still want your troops to retake Jining County? It's really ridiculous."
Hu Zhenfeng's cold words made Sun Yu feel cold.
"You...what do you mean? What are you going to do?" Sun Yu asked Hu Zhenfeng tremblingly.
"What are you doing? Don't you know yet? I'm rebelling! Do you understand?"
"ah?"
"Hu Zhenfeng, you. If you dare, if you dare to kill me, you will be finished when Zhao Li comes back."
"Zhao Li is back?"
"Hahaha, do you think he can come back?"
"I guess he is at the end of his strength now." As he said that, Hu Zhenfeng looked at his watch with a smile.
"Sun Yu, since you last defeated the 14th Regiment, it has still begun to expand. First, you continued to launch wars, and then you removed Chief of Staff Cai. Who among the people doesn't scold you?"
"You are no longer worthy of being this commander. Let me tell you, although I, Hu Zhenfeng, am not a good person, I am not a bastard either. I can't bully the people. What about you? I almost killed all the men in seven counties for the sake of recruiting troops. I will destroy you today and vent your anger on behalf of the people."
As he said that, Hu Zhenfeng took out his pistol.
"you can not……"
"boom!"
There was a gunshot and Sun Yu fell into a pool of blood.
"Let's go to prison."
Hu Zhenfeng's prestige in the Eastern Sichuan Army is no less than that of Sun Yu. Even what Sun Yu did during this period has greatly weakened his prestige. Now that Sun Yu is dead, the soldiers in Funing County have surrendered to Hu Zhenfeng without exception. .
Hu Zhenfeng met Cai Ren after arriving at the prison.
Cai Ren was surprised when he saw Hu Zhenfeng.
Then Hu Zhenfeng recounted what had just happened.
Cai Ren was not as shocked as he imagined, but said calmly: "We can now send a message to the 14th Regiment, saying that we intend to surrender."
"You think so too?" Hu Zhenfeng asked.
"The commander of the 14th Regiment has a good reputation among the people. I think he is not bad at it. If we don't fight with anyone, the risk is death."
"Okay, I'll listen to you." Hu Zhenfeng nodded and asked the adjutant to do it.
"I don't know if the commander of the 14th Regiment agrees with our surrender."
"Who knows, I hope."
